What would be the cost of this though? I thought these things tend to get bid up to the range of billions of dollars

These licenses are in set-aside bands specifically for sharing. You're talking about 80 GBP per year for up to 10 MHz, and 80 GBP per year for each additional 10 MHz.

This isn't nationally auctioned spectrum (which gets bid up to billions, then operators have to pay those fees into government coffers).
